District or Whole-School Teacher Training - These large group professional development workshops can be customized for content and length, but optimal training configuration would be between 3 - 5 hours in length taught over several sessions. Minimum size for a training is eight people. JoAnne is an Adams State University Instructor so one graduate credit can be offered for any workshop that is around 15 hours in length.
Workshop content can be created to focus solely on Mindfulness (teacher self-care and integration into the classrooms) or any combination of Mindfulness, Conscious Discipline, Restorative Practices, and Trauma-Sensitive Classrooms. Contact JoAnne at either joanne@on-pointmindfulness.com or joanne@southwestteacherlearning.com to discuss options for trainings.
Cost: Usually $100 an hour for unlimited participants.

Classroom Instruction - JoAnne is available to come into K-12 classrooms and teach students a literature-based mindfulness curriculum created from a variety of resources (e.g. Mindful Schools, Mind-Up, .B, Calm Classroom). This curriculum has been used successfully with hundreds of elementary and secondary students. The most requested teaching configuration is for 40 minutes, twice a week over an 6 to 7-week period, although that can be tweaked to accommodate any type of situation.
Although JoAnne is an experienced teacher and can handle working with students of all ages, the classroom teacher is asked to stay in the classroom during Mindfulness instruction, so he/she can be aware of the curriculum content and can follow-up. The only way to get good at Mindfulness is to practice Mindfulness regularly.
Cost: $250 for one classroom at one Durango-area school; $225 a classroom if more than one classroom at a Durango-area school. There will be an additional $50 charge for out-of-town schools.
